Manifesto del
Corso di Laurea Magistrale in Matematica
Approvato nel Consiglio di Dipartimento del 27 marzo 2014

1. Definitions of terms used in this document
Laurea Magistrale in Matematica = Master of Science in Mathematics = M.Sc. in
Maths
This is what this document is about.

Laurea = Laurea Triennale
This is an Italian Bachelor's Degree, lasting three years.

Credit = Credito formativo universitario = CFU
This is the European unit for measuring the value of activities such a course, an
internship, or a thesis. One credit corresponds to about 7 hours of frontal lectures,
and a total of 25 hours of work for the student. 120 credits are required for a M.Sc.

Course type = credit type = tipo
Nation-wide Italian rules require students studying for a M.Sc. to collect a certain
number of credits in various categories. Some of these categories have self-
explanatory names. For instance free-choice credits (crediti liberi) can be taken
basically arbitrarily, subject to loose rules explained below. The two more arcane
categories are probably caratterizzante (pl. caratterizzanti) and affine (pl. affini).
These are best defined below through explicit lists.

Settore = Settore scientifico-disciplinare = SSD
This is a nation-wide classification of University courses, sorted out in various
categories. The categories for Maths are the following:

SSD Italiano English
MAT/01 Logica matematica Mathematical Logic
MAT/02 Algebra Algebra
MAT/03 Geometria Geometry
MAT/04 Matematiche complementari Miscellanea
MAT/05 Analisi matematica Mathematical Analysis
MAT/06 Probabilit e statistica matematica Probability and Mathematical Statistics
MAT/07 Fisica matematica Mathematical Physics
MAT/08 Analisi numerica Numerical Analysis
MAT/09 Ricerca operativa Operations Research

Curriculum (pl. curricula)
Within the general framework of the M.Sc. in Mathematics, it is possible to aim at
gaining an in-depth knowledge and understanding of several areas of advanced
Mathematics (curriculum Advanced Mathematics) or to aim more at acquiring
knowledge useful for teaching and communicating mathematics and other sciences
(curriculum Teaching and Scientific Communication) or to specialize in one of the
curricula of Mathematics for Life Sciences or in Cryptography and Coding Theory
Each curricula will have different rules in the choice of courses: see below.

Piano degli studi = piano di studio = piano di studi = study plan
Each student of the Laurea Magistrale has to spell out the choices she or he is taking
among the various course on offer in a document with this name. (The plural of piano
is piani).

Orientamento =suggested study plan
Examples of possible study plans centered on different aspects of mathematical
studies.

Stage: the Italian term (actually borrowed from French) for an internship.

Semestre (pl. semestri) = semester = sem
Teaching is arranged in two periods, conventionally called semesters = six months,
although they last only about 14 weeks each. The first semestre starts in mid-
September and ends about a week before the end of December. The second
semestre lasts from mid-February to the end of May/beginning of June.

MUT = Mutuato = Corso mutuato
This is a course which is offered by a different Department or is a proxy for a course
held in a different Department.

N.A. = Not Available = Non attivato
A course that has been active in previous years, and may well be active again in the
future, but is not currently offered.

2. Istituzione e attivazione
The Department of Mathematics promotes the Corso di Laurea Magistrale in Matematica
(Master of Science in Mathematics), belonging to the class LM-40 - Matematica. The
degree is activated starting from the Academic Year 2009/10 through the insertion in the
Database of the Offerta Formativa.

3. Instruction language
All courses of the Laurea Magistrale in Mathematics are taught in English.

4. Goals
The Master of Science in Mathematics (Laurea Magistrale in Matematica) is aimed at
providing an in-depth knowledge and understanding of several areas of advanced
Mathematics, and of its relations to other Sciences.

5. Admission requirements
To apply to the Laurea Magistrale in Matematica, a student shall fulfill both some formal
requirements and a satisfactory personal qualification.
As far as the first step is concerned, a Bachelor's degree lasting for three years or longer
is required; such a degree must provide at least the basic concepts of linear algebra and
mathematical analysis. A certificate for a B1 level of English is also required.

Pagina 3 di 14

The personal qualification is evaluated by a Commissione, designated by the Council of
the Mathematical Department; the following information is required
- a detailed study plan of the Bachelor's degree, including titles and syllabi of all the
courses taken;
- a document issued from the University that issued the Bachelor's degree reporting, in
Italian or English, the list of courses, the score obtained in each of them and the final
score associated to the degree;
- work and professional experiences;
- level of knowledge of English Language, certified by internationally recognized
organizations or by the University that issued the Bachelor's degree;
- a motivation statement, explaining why the student is willing to apply to the Corso di
Laurea Magistrale in Matematica, and what he/she expects from it.

In particular, formal requirements are automatically satisfied by students who possess
Laurea in Matematica (classe L-35 Scienze matematiche).
Lauree affini, for instance a Bachelor's Degree (Laurea) in Physics, Computer
Science, Engineering or Economics, with a suitable number of credits in the settori
MAT/*.

The committee can require a personal interview (possibly on-line) with the applicants, to
better evaluate their curriculum. Some students might be required to follow a particular
piano degli studi (study plan).

6. Piano degli studi
Students have to submit a piano degli studi (study plan), which satisfies the requisites for
one of the four curricula spelled out below. Such a piano is subject to approval by the
Commissione Didattica di Dipartimento. Students are not allowed to repeat activities
already taken in their earlier career.
To write a proper piano, a total of 120 credits have to be chosen in the following
categories: caratterizzanti, affini and liberi (see below for a short description and the
following pages for a list of possible courses for each kind).

7. Crediti caratterizzanti
Depending on the curriculum, whose rules are spelled out below, the students have to
select a certain number of crediti caratterizzanti, which correspond to certain core
Mathematics courses in two groups of settori. A list of such courses is given for each
curriculum below.

8. Crediti affini
Depending on the curriculum, whose rules are spelled out below, the students have to
select a certain number of crediti affini. A list of settori whose credits are considered affini
is given below. Note that all Mathematics courses are affini. Note also that students can
take Mathematics courses at the Laurea Magistrale in Matematica of the Universit di
Verona as affini courses. Also, once the proper number of crediti caratterizzanti has been
chosen, the student can select more caratterizzanti courses under the affini label.

9. Crediti liberi/free-choice credits
In the piano degli studi students can select any course offered at the University of Trento
for their free-choice credits (crediti liberi), subject to approval by the Commissione
Didattica di Dipartimento. Students are required to give a detailed motivation for these
choices in the piano di studi.
Note that further caratterizzanti and affini courses can be taken under this label. Note also
that students can take Mathematics courses at the Laurea Magistrale in Matematica of the
Universit di Verona as liberi courses.

10. Language Skills
Students are required to get a B2 (or higher) certificate of English for 3 credits of
Language Skills. Students who have already used such a certification earlier in their
career may alternatively get these 3 credits by getting a course in Technical English
Language (level B2 advanced) at CLA.

11. Stage/Internship and Thesis/tesi
Several internships at companies and institutions are available. An internship has a
default credit value of 12. In this case, the thesis has a credit value of 18.
Students can otherwise choose to write a thesis for 30 credits.
Detailed information and further regulation are provided in the description of each
curriculum.

12. Curriculum
The course is organized into four curricula:
Advanced Mathematics;
Teaching and Scientific Communication;
Mathematics for Life Sciences;
Coding Theory and Cryptography.
Every students is required to formally choose one of the curricula and to follow the
corresponding rules as stated in the Regolamento Didattico della Laurea Magistrale
(http://www.unitn.it/dmath/25156/norme-e-regolamenti)

Within each curriculum, we propose particular study plans (called orientamenti) which are
suggested to the students; such orientamenti are automatically approved. Students have
the opportunity to write a personal study plan within each curriculum: such plan is subject to
approvation by the Commissione Didattica.

The curriculum Coding Theory and Cryptography

In this highly specialized curriculum, the students will receive an introduction to modern
methods in Computational Algebra, with an emphasis on its main real-life applications:
Coding theory and Cryptography
According to their own inclination, the students are free to choose between two options,
which are called orientamenti in Italian, the stage-oriented curriculum and the research-
oriented curriculum. It remains possible for a student to choose a personal study plane,
which is however subject to approval by the Department and which needs a strong
motivation behind.

Stage-oriented
This orientamento is especially aimed at students who wish to work in the security
department of a company. Typically, security departments of banks hire our graduates, but
also IT companies and security-focused firms find their study preparation of high interest.
Indeed, this orientamento complements a solid algebraic background with both applied
courses, such as Cryptography or Coding Theory and Applications, and practical Computer
Science courses, such as Java programming (Programmazione II) or Network Security.
An internship is mandatory to graduate. The internship can be either external in a company
or internal within the Laboratory of Cryptography on a project proposed by a company.

Thesis and stage:
The course of studies is concluded with the discussion of a Master Thesis. The process
leading to write the thesis can be divided into one of the following ways:
a. an original thesis, carried out with the guidance of a supervisor, which provides 30
credits;
b. an internship / placement, which assigns 12 CFU, followed by an original thesis, carried
out under the guidance of a supervisor, who provides 18 credits.
Approximately the length of the Master's Thesis (including the possible internship) is
equivalent to one semester of full-time work (25 hours x 30 credits).
